Doernbecher Cancer Survivors to Unveil Nike Shoes They Designed

09/22/04 Portland, Ore.

WHAT:

Five Doernbecher Children's Hospital cancer survivors designed their own Nike shoes to be sold nationwide to raise money for Portland's world-class academic pediatric health center. The shoes will be unveiled at a special "Doernbecher Freestyle" fund-raising event at the Wieden + Kennedy building. Each artist will share his/her personal story of triumph over cancer and the motivation for his/her shoe design.

Nike will sell a limited run of the shoes later this year. Proceeds from each pair sold will help patients at Doernbecher.

WHEN:

Saturday, Sept. 25, 4 to 8 p.m.

WHERE:

Wieden + Kennedy, 224 N.W. 13th Ave., Portland, Ore.

Please have your reporter/photographer check in at the front desk with credentials so they can be escorted to the interview location.
